Sir L. HARMSWORTHasked the Secretary for Scotland if he can state what steps he proposes to take to comply with the request of the ex soldiers, sailors, and crofters of Melness, Sutherland, that Mel-ness farm be made available as crofts?
§ Mr. MUNROI am informed that the farm is held under lease until 1926. It would, therefore, be very expensive to proceed with a scheme under existing legislation, but the Board of Agriculture for Scotland is considering the matter in view of applications received by them which, I may say, are of recent date.
